Enjoy!


Gaara finally woke up at around 3 in the afternoon. Temari who almost fell asleep woke him as the sand ran amok. She was in the bathroom taking an ice cold shower. For a second he felt sorry for her, until he realized that he just slept for 14 hours without losing his personality. He had a dream. A nice dream. As a matter of fact he had several dreams and none of them involved sand, tanukis, or him losing his mind. This made him smile.

Kankurou came trotting down the stairs. He was in a bikini top with a short skirt and fishnet socks. He took a crack at make-up too. The result was lots of sparkles.

"You're...sparkly," Gaara commented.

"But am I sexy?"

"Uuuuuh...." Kankurou ignored him and fluffed Temari's for pigtails in the mirror. "Why are you in a bathing suit? Are you going swimming."

His brother grinned. "Nooooope. I'm going out on a date."

Gaara's stomach did a flip. "... ... ...With?" he ventured.

"My boyfriend..." Kannkurou paused. "That's okay for me to say because I'm really a girl...... ... right?"

"No it's not okay. YOU are going out with TEMARI'S boyfriend. And when she finds out, she's going to figure out Sabaku no Sousou really quick and I don't think you'll like it." Gaara warned.

Kankurou walked over and sat in his lap. He grabbed Gaara's collar. "She's not going to find out. Why? Because we aren't going to tell here. Right?"

"You can't hurt me? I'm in your body."

"And she can't hurt me because I'm in her's. But still... If you don't want her to freak out and destroy Konoha with YOUR body then you better keep your trap shut. Got it, brat?"

Gaara sighed and shoved him off of his lap. "I won't tell her but you better get out of here before she comes out."

Kankurou nodded and skipped to the door. He slid is feet into his sandals. "I'm going."

"Wait!" Gaara was looking at him from the couch. "I can see your underwear, Kankurou."

"Really?...AWESOME!" He grinned. "I'm hot shit. Temari will thank me when this is all over." With that he left.

The young ninja shuddered. "Tsunade...please...please hurry.

Shikamaru was lying on the ground watching the clouds. He was glad to hear that the sand ninja would be able to see him. He was thinking about what kind of mission they'd be doing when he was suddenly staring up a girl's skirt. "WHOAH!" He scrambled to his feet, shocked to see Temari grinning at him. "What the-... You're sparkly."

She did a few poses. "Do you like?"

The young shinobi put his hands in his pockets. "It's...different. I've never seen you dress like that."

"Well, I'm a different person."

"How so?"

"Trust me. So, what do you want to do today?" She asked taking his hand.

Shikamaru looked confused but shrugged. "We could just talk like we always do."

"Talk? All the - God that's boring. " Temari said with a little surprise. "I mean if you're going to go out with my si- uh with me, then we should at least do SOMETHING cooler than that. Wanna make-out?"

Shikamaru stared at her. He lost all color in his face and just stared. Temari waved her hand in front of his face but there was no reaction. "Did I say something wrong?"

He blushed and turned his back to here. "...What's with that kind of thing all of a sudden. We haven't even had our first kiss." Behind his back, the false Temari looked aghast.

Temari's been keeping it really G-rated this whole time. She's moving awful slow. Maybe she doesn't really like him. But why does she always freak out... A lightbulb went on in his head.

Temari hugged her boyfriend from behind. "You're funny! I didn't really mean that we'd make-out. I was just joking." Shikamaru pouted.

"That's a pretty bad joke. You scared me."

"Let's just talk like usual," she said sitting down. Shikamaru nodded and sat beside here.

Kankurou opened the door tentatively. "Psssssst....Gaara?"

"What?" came a voice behind him. The older boy jumped and turned around. It was Gaara and not Temari as Gaara.

"Geez! A little warning. Where's our sister?"

Gaara pushed passed him and entered the house. "She's taking a walk. She wanted me to go with her but I was going to take a nap."

Kankurou gave a little cheer and grabbed his brothers hand, locking the door. "Good, because we have a mission to do." He pulled the younger boy with him up to Temari's room. He began to rummage through her backpack.

"What are you doing?" Gaara inquired. "If Temari catches us in her st-" his sentenced ended in a gasp as Kankurou held up a small purple book with a paper seal on it. "Kankurou...put that back."

"I'm Temari now, right?"

"So in order for me to act like Temari, I have to know all about her, right?"

"And what better way to get into her character than to read her diary."

".... I'm out of here. I'm not getting my ass kicked because you enjoy cross dressing."

"I DO NOT ENJOY IT!" he yelled at Gaara's retreating back. Kankurou grumbled and began to read.

Dear Diary,

I got a letter for Shikamaru! He's so sweet. He sent me a dry flower in it, too. I have to write him back but what should I give him-

"Boring." Kankurou flipped back a few pages.

Dear Diary,

I AM GOING TO RIP MY MORON BROTHER TO SHREDS!!!

"Eek. I remember that day. Next!"

Dear Diary,

When will I get to see Shika-shika again? I hate being couped up in Sand with nothing to do. I stare at the clouds and wonder if he's thinking about me too. We have another mission in Mist, maybe we can stop at Konoha...

"Well, I guess she does like Shikamaru...She's just a little old-fashioned..." He scanned the pages some more but if she wasn't longing for Shikamaru she was complaining. How ever Temari, Kankurou mused wryly. "So, she likes his ponytail, talking to him, and he gives her lame sissy presents. I think I'm going to puke."

"No, Kankurou..." came an icy voice behind him. "I think you're going to die a slow....painful....twisted death..."

Kankurou turned slowly, sweat pouring from his face. "Ha...Ah....Temari! I know what this looks like?"

Temari looked at what was in his hands gasped. "IS. THAT. MY. DIARY?????" She pounced on him, ripping it from his hands. "You better have a damn good reason why I should choke you with your own intestines?"

"Because....they're really your intestines?"

"THEN I'LL RIP THEM OUT OF YOUR BODY?"

"What about Gaara?"

"I'LL KILL HIM TOO!" Kankurou sweated more. She was really losing it. He didn't need another psycho sibling.

"Listen, Temari. I saw Shikamaru today and he asked me some stuff and I wasn't sure how you'd answer. So I thought I'd read your diary to get some insight on how you think and talk." Kankurou smiled reassuringly but felt hands on his throat.

"Say that...one more time."

"I read your diary-"

"Before that."

"I...saw...Shika-"

"I'LL KILL YOU!!!!!!!"

Gaara, who was asleep on the couch, woke up. Sand tossed Kankurou down the stairs and into a wall. The young ninja jumped up. Temari was gripping her head hand extended towards their brother. She was losing control.

"I tried to warn that idiot." He went up to her and grabbed her hands. "Temari, calm down. You can't let your temper out or you might kill him!"

She glared at Gaara, sending chills down his spine. "Look, even you said we have to act like each other. What else could he do?"

"Fine! Take his side! I'm going for a walk!" She shoved passed him and stalked out the door.

Gaara groaned. "I really wanted that nap too. I'm going after her. Try to keep out of trouble."

Kankurou took a deep breath. "Being a girl is hard work."
